PROB.#1 A gravity retaining wall is shown in Fig. 1. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding. The following data is given:
Wall dimensions: H=6m,x1=0.6m,x2=2m,x3=2m,x4=0.5m,x5=0.75m,x6=0.8m,D=1.5m,=10
Soil properties: 1=16.5kNm3,1=32,c1=0,2=18kNm3,2=22,c2=40kNm2
The unit weight of concrete is 23.58kNm3. Use Rankine's active earth pressure in your calculation.
PROB.#2. Solve Prob.#1 using Coulomb's active earth pressure in your calculation. Use =231.
PROB.# 1 A gravity retaining wall is shown in
